Description
Diversity and Citizenship Education: Global Perspectives brings together, in one comprehensive volume, a group of international experts on the topic of diversity and citizenship education. It presents compelling case studies and examples of successful programs and practices from twelve nations; discusses problems that arise when societies are highly stratified along race, cultural, and class lines; and describes guidelines and benchmarks that practicing educators can use to structure citizenship education programs that balance unity and diversity. Covering a broad range of issues, the book includes vital information on such topics as:
  • Migration, citizenship, and education
  • The challenge of racialized citizenship in the United States
  • The contribution of the struggles by Indians and Blacks for citizenship and recognition in Brazil
  • Crises of citizenship education and ethnic issues in Germany, Russia, and South Africa
  • Conflicts between religious and ethnic factions
  • Diversity, globalization, and democratic education
